He’s been shut out of the team for 3 seasons and you’re given Roy the credit for his recent performances?

I go back to the days of Bert Head and have seen all the managers come and go since, including the likes of Ernie Whalley.
Roy is competent and a steady manager; he does what it says on the tin and gets enough results to keep employers satisfied.
He is not a Coppell or a Venables who genuinely transformed the fortunes of the club through in the first instance brilliant use of bargain buys and in the latter case innovative coaching of a promising group of youth players.
Roy is doing no better or worse than expected.

I have still not changed my mind, Royball is depressing and dour. And we have too good a squad to be playing Pulis style football at this stage. After the game yesterday he downplayed the score line- saying it only matters that you score one more than the oppo. Of course it’s true but come on! It shows the negative mindset and explains the disgusting performances v Chelski and Brighton.

That said. If he picks out strongest (attacking) line up against beatable teams then that’s something. Eze is obviously ahead of Schlupp in my mind. I am just wondering how we’d have handled Leeds drawing level. They were good going forward and carved us open - but we’re so wide open at times and we didn’t mess around. I’d like us to beat a good team by playing good football. Have we done that yet this season? Could and should have got a draw v Everton. Does that count?

Didn't we beat the team who are this morning top of the table? Was it "good football"? A moot point. Do I care? Nope.

Agree I wonder what fans expect. The Club has retained being local fan based club bringing on new talent as an when. I would argue that he is in the spirit of our Bert Head.

I had inched into the Roy out camp this season as I was sick of watching unimaginative and depressing football. Hats off to Roy for yesterday though. He cleverly reintroduced Ayew in order that he could bring in Eze, with this meaning Eze had more freedom to roam. Leeds have played three counter-attacking teams this season and lost them all, so I don't want to get too excited, but hopefully Roy has listened to the fans frustrations and we will see more games like yesterday moving forward. I'm sure no one wants us to lose under Roy just to prove they were right?
